Directions
1. Prepare the Base
Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Place 6 ice cream sandwiches in a single layer on the bottom of the dish.
2. Layer the Ice Cream and Toppings
Spread half of the ice cream over the ice cream sandwiches, using a spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Drizzle half of the hot fudge or caramel sauce over the ice cream. Sprinkle half of the crushed cookies over the sauce.
3. Repeat the Layers
Repeat the layers with the remaining ice cream sandwiches, ice cream, sauce, and cookies.
4. Freeze
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
5. Serve
Before serving, top the cake with whipped cream and your favorite toppings.
How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftovers (which is unlikely, but possible!), simply cover the dish with plastic wrap and return it to the freezer. The cake will keep well for up to a week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
